Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the single volume ‘blue cover’ edition (also available), Joshua Free’s classic ARCANUM materials are now more accessible than ever — available in installments as a two volume ‘red cover’ edition set!

ARCANUM by Joshua Free is a unique literary contribution toward harmonic unification of knowledge receiving many names through the ages: magickal, occult, pseudo-scientific and now, even quantum. The rise of technology and the recent “information age” has provided a wellspring of metaphysical lore, but it is not mutually synchronous with other knowledge or even other New Age systems, often due to vocabulary use.

“New Agers” separate their sects and factions in the same manner as the scientists and the religious officials, and we (as a society) have not been progressing towards global unity. All of our developments and paradigms of truth continue to grow and prove themselves only when isolated within the system in which they were designed. This all changes when taking the “wide-angle” approach to the whole picture — the entire systematic gestalt of the metaphysical universe explored in ARCANUM.

ARCANUM : The Great Magickal Arcanum by Joshua Free

This innovative presentation requires that YOU have immediate access to supplemental information on any given facet of related knowledge. This is indicated in the text by the appearance of “links” or bold-faced type that prompts YOU to explore other specific parts of the book for additional clarification. This design allowed the author the ability to cover more topics in a tighter space without having to be unnecessarily repetitive in reprinting the more common aspects. ARCANUM is not to be mistaken as simply another “A-to-Z Encyclopedia of Magick” or a superficial discourse concerning “where science and magick meet.” In fact, this text was not written for the true beginner in mind and its scope surpasses practical magick alone.

ARCANUM has no specific starting point, allowing it to be integrated into any personal background or developmental stage. With sufficient time, study and practice, the seeker works through the entire body of knowledge, beginning first with the facets of individual fancy and inclination, and then continuing on with the remainder of the entangled material, which you will find to be coherently interconnected, not simply clumped together to make a massive series. By presenting this primer of a new standard model of the mysteries, any individual, couple or study group can find the ease of using this global” system in spite of prior personal religious, spiritual, philosophical, scientific and academic background or accomplishments!

As the underground modern inception of “Mardukite” mysteries prepares to celebrate its 10th Anniversary of activity – during the second ever “global synchronized Marduk gate opening meditation” for Beltane 2018 – the subject of astral doorways, star gates, and other “spiritual” or “metaphysical” inter-dimensional portals is becoming a hot topic among not only the “Mardukite” scene, but also by other “New Age,” “alternative science” and “ancient aliens theorists.”

“Arcanum” by Joshua Free, 10th Anniversary Edition

Drawing from the pages of the newly released 10th Anniversary edition of the very first Mardukite publication – “ARCANUM: THE GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM”by Joshua Free –

…a “threshold” or “portal” is quite simply a “gateway.” Modern practitioners believe that via the Universal Akasha (or superstrings) all things are connected. Different circumstances and natural conditions affect this “bridge” between worlds. In ritual meditations and ceremonial magick, the Nemeton (sacred space) serves as a temporary energetic threshold by which one is able to evoke (call forth) external powers that exist in the “invisible” (or what is “outside” of our normal perception of time-space).

In ritual meditations and ceremonial experiments, a “visible” counterpart or tool often represents “invisible” forces. For example, elemental tablets, elemental weapons and the like, are attractants, meaning catalysts for the specific elements being invited and made manifest through magickal work. Another example: regularly casting a circle or using the Watchtower Ceremony in a particular locale can change the vibrations (resonance impressions) of that space.

Meditating and studying from the Mardukite NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE (edited by Joshua Free) and the astral connections made via the Mardukite GATES OF THE NECRONOMICON (Year-2 anthology, also edited by Joshua Free) are believed to open personal channels and establish resonance specific to the planetary or otherwise “Olympian” deities realized in their rawest form as the Anunnaki pantheon, described best by the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians, Chaldeans, Assyrians, and the like – they are encountered elsewhere in geography and history by other cultures and in names from other languages.

A practical exploration of rituals and rites from these traditions is also found in Joshua Free’s Mardukite NECRONOMICON GRIMOIRE (Year 3 anthology).

Since time and space are relative in the Infinite Universe, so are the thresholds. Energetic events in other dimensions (astral, Otherworld, etc.) that are connected to ours will produce effects in our world.

Cosmic events can have repercussions on the energies that manifest by the elements through weather and natural terrain. Certain times and places simply “feel” more magickal than others, and while there are energetic causes behind this, they tend to go unrecognized. Historically, mystics observed different effects under varying natural conditions and this lore comes to use in the New Age as magickal timing (using the Moon, Sun and planetary influences).

Grimoires and archaic ritual texts frequently specify the timing of the operation or events that must coincide with it (e.g. an equinox or solstice). The ritual then continues with the wizard doing something in the visible realm to affect the energetic vibrations via the invisible realm. In essence, the wizard does something “here” to affect something “there,” appearing as though remotely manipulated like a screen and keyboard, but in truth “here” and “there” are entangled as one.

SO…WHAT ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL “GATES OF THE NECRONOMICON”???

According to standard Babylonian/Mesopotamian tradition and as famously described in the Simonian Necronomicon, there are seven “planetary” thresholds encountered when the shaman or wizard is “rising on the planes” of the Ladder of Lights, or “Stairway to Heaven” – a form of “initiation via the Astral Plane.” This is comparable to the “Rising on the Planes” (or aethyrs) of Enochian Magick. It is also understood, much as displayed in other kabbalistic models of metaphysical cosmology, that access to a very real Gate or Door to the “Other” is concealed within the system. However it may be accessed directly, one things is for sure: This is the very “magic” for which BABYLON was named for!

As the modern Mardukite movement gears up for its tenth active year, the long-term plans for Phase-10 are being divulged for the first time from the Mardukite Office and Council of Nabu… and all of them seem to involve the use of meditation, personal metaphysics and what many have called “magic” — the same practices which were at first held exclusively for remote communication with interdimensional or otherwise “alien” intelligences — will be explored and executed by the Mardukite Chamberlains in global efforts to force open portals, doorways and gateways for the New Age, bringing specific energies and frequencies into this realm that have previously been denied. Such almost seems like something from the pages of science fiction alone, but this is not the case. And in preparation for such undertakings for the following years, we turn our attention to the lore from the past where elements of such aspects may be best observed and even exploited.

“Arcanum” by Joshua Free, 10th Anniversary Edition

…One example we might turn to regards the subject of KHORONZON, here explained in this Mardukite NecroGate blog post as excerpted from the new 10th Anniversary edition of ARCANUM : THE GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM by Joshua Free. While the archives and publishing array of the Mardukites has grown considerably in the past decade, it was the ARCANUM work that first attracted many early subscribers of the Mardukite underground.

KHORONZON… A powerful malignant force interpreted from the Enochian-Kabbalah system. Sometimes spelled “Choronzon” or “Coronzon,” the name refers to the “Fallen One,” or Apocalyptical Dragon, known in Enochian language as “telec vovim” or “Death Dragon.” Most scholars interpret this primordial force as “the Devil” or “Satan,” while Gnostics equate it with the Ialdabaoth energetic current. In the Necronomicon and ancient Sumerian-Babylonian tradition, Khoronzon is specifically defined as KUR, or Tiamat, the “first form” or “archetypal dragon” that leads the hordes of Ancient Ones. All traditions point to a force that is currently being kept beyond or outside of our time-space by the Gate to the Outside.

Leave it to Aleister Crowley to break through the gates of the Universe. Instead of using the Triangle of Solomon for Goetic evocation, a method used widely by ceremonialists for conjuring to physical appearance (typically within a mirror), Crowley traced the Triangle of Solomon in the sands of the Algerian desert in 1909, formed the space as a nemeton, stepped within the confines and conjured the spirit of Khoronzon into himself. Previously, Crowley had encountered the entity when he was exploring the developmental system of Aethyrs (which he skryed from the thirtieth to the first) working with one or two of the dimensions a day. At one point, Crowley finds himself stuck on a rung of the Ladder of Light. To go further would mean to break the seal to the Gate to the Outside from within his own mind, sharing an astral existence with the forces of Khoronzon. Of course, Crowley went ahead and did this anyway, and it changed him for the remainder of his life.

It is possible that Aleister Crowley did more than simply open the Gate to the Outside from within his own mind. Many spiritualists believe that when he did so, he unleashed many malignant forces into 20th Century civilization. This may have been a predetermined event. The Enochian System was “discovered” by John Dee and Edward Kelley, but they never successfully employed the system themselves, and were actually warned not to (by an angel named “Ave”). Then, 500 years later, Crowley appears, claiming to be the spirit of Kelley in a reincarnated form, and he effectively uses all of the Enochian Keys to perform his famous ritual working, his interpretation of the Great Work.

“Arcanum” by Joshua Free, 10th Anniversary Edition

Astral lore within the high magickal tradition sometimes makes references to places or spaces of “not” and “void” that exist between other aethyrs and dimensions of existence. The abyss represents the unknown, the most frightening and challenging state of mastery capable prior to the finality of Ascension. Sometimes the Dweller on the Threshold is not malignant, merely a guardian of sorts. In the case of Khoronzon, the entity exists between the aethyrs beyond all reasonable sensory perception. Legends suggest that there are still worshipers of the Ancient Ones, ever seeking to allow these forces to manifest in the Mid-Branch planes of human existence. But according to the apocryphal texts and prophecies, this final battle of “Sky Dragons” is inevitable.

Protection from the “Death-Dragon” requires a significant feat of magickal ability, perhaps the entirety of the Great Magickal Arcanum. The individual must exist within an established shell or strengthened Merkaba, with the personal energetic system (aura and chakras) strengthened and balanced from within a body of light. The belief is that forces kept behind the Gate to the Outside will represent a catastrophic event for natural existence. Some lore suggests the unnatural undoing of creation, the “un-creation,” a power allegedly held in the Tetragrammaton, the “Word.” The best advice for the seeker is to embrace the Clear Light within and become as a beacon of Truth to dispel the darkness…

Also spelled “Anunaki” or “Annunaki,” this race of humanoids appear as genetically superior avatars responsible for the genesis of Man and human civilizations in the lore found on the most ancient tablets. Their name can be translated literally as “Star-Dragons” (“anu-nagi”), but may interpreted as “they whom from Heaven to Earth came” or “they whom decree Fate on Earth.” Lore of Anunnaki appears prominent in Sumerian “Creation epic,” the most ancient paradigm to emerge from prehistory, later carried forth by such cultures as the Akkadians and Babylonians.

“Arcanum” by Joshua Free, 10th Anniversary Edition

The entirety of this Mardukite NecroGate blog post is based on the new 10th Anniversary edition of “ARCANUM: THE GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM” by Joshua Free, considered the “greatest underground occult classic of the 21st century” prior to the release of any other of Joshua Free’s prestigious titles. The Arcanum materials spawned the Mardukite Research Organization a decade ago! Arcanum materials span nearly 1000 topics including many pertaining to Anunnaki, Mesopotamian Mysteries, Sumerian Religion and Babylonian Magick.

According to the Edaphic Tradition, the Anunnaki are the original intelligent race to occupy the Earth Planet, known as the Children of the Stars or Gods of Anu, later called dragons and Elves. Some evidence supports the possibility that they arrived here from a an exo-planet home base, called Nibiru or the “Place of Crossings” that the Egyptians called the “Planet of Millions of Years.” If we are to adopt the research of Zecharia Sitchin, then this place is unique from other planets in our Solar System because of its comet-like elliptical orbit estimated (from Sumerian numerology interpretations) to take 3,600 Earth years to complete a cycle around the Sun (giving time and lifespans on Nibiru relative appearance of “eternal” or “immortal” in comparison to cycles on the Earth Planet). Contemporary society has difficulty accepting theories of an interdimensional or “extraterrestrial” origin to human existence (and we can thank the Church for this omission in knowledge). According to some interpretations of the ancient tablets, environmental conditions of Nibiru were suffering (not altogether dissimilar to present-day life and future projections for the Earth Planet). They possessed a belief that injecting gold into their planetary atmosphere would protect them from a deteriorating atmospheric shield.

A council of fifty Anunnaki arrived on Earth, dispatched by Anu, including his direct descendants: Enlil and Enki. These “fifty names” were later unified under the Mardukite banner in Babylon. For years the original dispatched Igigi-Watchers toiled, mining the mineral (which maybe why the Sahara desert exists where a plush rainforest once occupied). Other interpretations explain that the Anunnaki and Watchers were working the lands to make the Earth Planet livable. In some biblical translations, integration or interaction of Anunnaki races on Earth are referred to as Nephilim or “Sons of God,” describing a clear distinction between their race’s terrestrial existence and the “Sons of Man” (later called Sons of Mil by Tuatha d’Anu).

One day, the “Workers” decide to stop toiling after observing a potential chance for bioengineering. They proposition the Anunnaki Council for approval. Some version say that Enki had discovered early able hominids who had naturally evolved to a “primitive” form from the life seeded on the planet. Anunnaki believed that by mixing some of their own coded genetic material (DNA) with the “ape-man,” a more accelerated race of workers could be formed. Though similar, they would look different from the ”ape-man” and bare an image more closely resembling their creators. Without this understanding, the original Homo sapien race emerged as if from nowhere. [Darwin’s model of evolution accounts for natural development of many life forms on the Earth Planet, but modern man is not one of them.] It may seem harsh, but humans are the result of “genetic intervention,” a naked slave race for the gods, treated like domesticated work animals by a “Watcher” race.

From Tablet A, within the “Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible,” a seeker is introduced to these beings as follows:

“This is the Book of Dead Names of the Anunnaki, Watchers & IGIGI, those beings which have appeared to man in ages past, both physically on Earth and in global mythologies as ‘gods.’ While the text which follows, spanning thousands of years of primordial lore, illustrates the ‘gods of Men,’ no illusion should be maintained over the true nature of their divinity. The ‘powers’ and ‘forces’ that have historically appeared to humans are simply that and nothing more, and yet mankind followed in with the plan of ‘deifying’ these beings into “gods” complete with religious traditions and followings defended by the sword. Offerings which first served to feed the Anunnaki themselves would later feed priests and their families once the “gods” left the Earth, leaving their shrines and temples empties, and humans seemingly forgotten.”

The story of the Anunnaki takes a twist when Enki, the chief scientist, mates with a “mortal,” an act that enrages the others (interpreting such behavior as “bestiality”). The similarity in DNA allowed reproduction. As “Lord of the Earth,” Enki’s dynastic bloodline from ancient Mesopotamia (also known as the “Line of Samael”) launched the legacy of Dragon Kings, who ruled here in Anu’s name. Sons of God were Children of the Stars born of stellar genetics, not natural evolution. The “ape-man” continued to evolve on its own separate from the star-race until it was eventually replaced by interbreeding “Homo sapiens” altogether. Understand, that against popular anthropological belief, Neanderthal and “Homo erectus” are bred out and go extinct. They do not “evolve into” “Homo sapiens.” In addition to the lineage of Enki on Earth, Marduk was a pioneer in actually espousing an Earthling wife, Sarpanit (who gives birth to the messianic heir Nabu). This lineage was carried by dedicate priest-king lines in both Egypt and Babylon.

The “Old Testament” story of the “Garden of Eden” is derived from pre-Semitic lore (from Mesopotamia) of E.DIN. The Anunnaki created “star-gates” for transportation and alleged physical landing stations in three regions (Mesopotamia, Egypt and South America) sparking the religious tradition of building ziggurats and pyramids. The Anunnaki also began the process of cultivating and harvesting (agriculture) that began in the experimental “gardens” of E.DIN. The hybrid slave-race was specifically selected for the task of maintaining the garden and tending the land. There are cuneiform tablets mentioning integration of Anunnaki genetics with these hybrids to create “Adapa,” the biblical “Adam.” Much of this is lost in contemporary scriptures, although even the Holy Bible informs that a different evolution took place outside of Eden and Adam’s bloodline. After Cain kills Abel he leaves to join the primitive culture of the nomadic Nodites that had previously existed apart from the Adamic line!

After gold had been excavated and Anunnaki were in dispute over Enki, the High Council learned of a geologic shift about to take place on Earth due to shifting ice masses and the poles. A deluge was coming. Enlil and the Anunnaki decided to leave and return to Nibiru. Their intention: to abandon humans to die. Enki felt differently and gives humans specific instructions for construction of an “ark” (possibly a submarine) in which to preserve tablets of knowledge and living creatures of the planet. Here, in ancient Sumerian lore, on the “Atra-asis Tablets” and again in the “Epic of Gilgamesh,” we find an obvious source for the story of “Noah’s Ark” thousands of years before the Jewish Tradition.

The Flood Archetype may relate to origins of the Atlantis legend as well. Traditions developed in the form of Egyptian and Greek “Hermetics” and also by the Tuatha d’Anu tribe of Dragon Kings that ignited the La Tene/Danubian culture across mainland Europe. The “ark” was directed to Mt. Ararat, the highest point in the region and logically the first place that the waters would subside after the deluge. The Anunnaki returned after the “flood” to “inspect the damage.” They found life on the Earth Planet (at least in Mesopotamia) had survived. Even Enlil was pleased and decided to assist other Anunnaki in helping humans launch the first human Sumerian civilizations of known history based at a site that had been used before the flood, named Eridu. After society was developing well, the Anunnaki leave a final time and genetic hybrids (Dragon Kings) become the “ruling class.” The Eridu civilization transformed into the Ubaid and Uruk cultures before being handed down to the Akkadians, Egyptians and Babylonians, where Enki and Marduk, not Enlil, were revered.

In addition to the GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM by Joshua Free, the Mardukite Truth Seeker Press is proud to present a complete course curriculum in ancient mysteries including the “Mardukite Core” available in four annual anthologies, each composed of three or more titles and now available more economically than ever before!

“Obsessions with the Undead; a fascination with Vampires; these are the things We can expect all throughout the 21st Century. Futurist Darksiders continue to grow in numbers, particularly in the denser metropolitan areas…” explains Joshua Free in the Mardukite CyberVamps anthology VAMPYRE MAGICK, which includes the books “Vampyre’s Bible” and “Cybernomicon” in one volume!

Now, in the 21st Century, Creatures of Night remain bonded through a chain of books, films and music. Having no authoritarian system in place, no “large public secret societies” to destroy individualism of this path, the GothVamp and CyberVamp lifestyle still remains one loosely connected to Gothic, Occult or Dark Media. Except now… there is a lot more to choose from.

DARKSIDER conditions of the “VWZ” (vampire-werewolf-zombie) variety all involve a divergence in perception, awareness, and consciousness from the societal norm—which is to say what is experienced by at least 33% of the population. Understanding magic requires a magical mind—one that is able to step outside, even if just for a moment, and experience what it means to operate as “more than human.”

Whether under the guise of Undead Zombie Ravers or Vampyric Occultists, recent shifts in “Gothic” and “Vampyre” subcultures proves how dynamic the Underground really is in keeping relevant with the times – and how successful they’ve become at pushing it up into the mainstream media Realm. CyberVamps emerged out of a futurist need to evolve genres of fantasy and history, theory and practice to sustain the times. It seems to fit the NexGen far more than outdated styles of bikers, clowns and “post-punk punk” punks.

Our world is now the realm of a new elite; the hackers, neuroengineers, nanotechnicians, cybernetics developers all have the upper-hand on some of the kinds of magic that will be employed in the future. The goal seems to be elimination of “processing,” a form of NewSpeak that will effectively remove “language” and the “interpretation of symbols” and simply link straight to the brains direct processes.

CREATURES OF NIGHT other than Vampyres are experiencing a modern paradigm shift in global consciousness too. In a world already rampant with EDM and EBM, Dark Electro-Industrial performing artist and musician, “Zombie Girl” brings something uniquely revolutionary to the Community – “EZM” – Electronic Zombie Music! …and now, with recent success of television series “iZombie,” yet again, the Realm demonstrates just how beautiful Death can be for an i-Generation.

It is no stretch of imagination that electrical impulses or other devices can be used to trigger sectors and receptors of the brain—inducing specific emotional responses; generating chemical motion of peptides, neurotransmitters, amino acids, hormones—all of which generate an EMF of their own. So, there are many variable beneath the surface; but, the one “variable” that seems unchanging, even as we approach an age of very possible zombie apocalypse and artificial intelligence gone astray—is that humans really want to be able to manipulate and control each other. After examining thousands of years of esoterica in our mardukite archives, and this dirty word—CONTROL—seems to be the god that everyone is really worshiping.

We already have a mass-conditioned society—that is a very integral part of civilization dynamics. As the system evolves and becomes more complex, larger encompassing methods are employed to maintain order in a system that is only increasingly more unstable the more complex it becomes. Programming the “human condition” is a practice of “artificial stimulation” by definition—except now, instead of symbolism and psychological conditioning, technology is being used for biological stimulation; going after the physiological-behavioral directly with chemical stimulation.
